Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to determine the preferences of gifted children for symmetric-asymmetric furniture and children room`s shape and colour preferences. For this purpose, a questionnaire consisting of 20 pairs of symmetric-asymmetric furniture samples and 18 different children’s room designs with triangular, square and circular forms and main and intermediate colours were applied to gifted children and their preferences were determined. When the results were evaluated, the rate of symmetric furniture preference was determined to be 65%. It was also determined that the gifted children firstly pay attention to functionality in their symmetric furniture preference and make their choices accordingly and give particular importance to visual quality in asymmetric and functional designs. The most preferred model is square, followed by circle and triangle. When it comes to the colour preferences, cold colours have been determined to be the most preferred colours; blue, purple and green colours have been selected respectively. According to these results, it can be suggested that square model, cold colours and symmetric designs should be preferred for furniture designs for the gifted children.
